A show, curtains raised
slowly to reveal creatures
dressed up and ready
for a glamorous affair,
a sing-song dance or
a strip-tease? lavishly
covered in diamonds
and dreams the audience
can’t bare.
Thank you for reading!

Slid into heaven
Thanks to raven wings and bones
It is a dark room
Scattering of beads, thunder
I wake in the morn
